I don’t think the author should be included as an entity that the author
may have to follow. I would break this out to a separate sentence. I don’t
think the second occurrence of “entities” is necessary. So, I would say:

I agree. If no baseline is set by a government, company or customer, the
developer has to define it. He has to turn the baseline implied by his
choice of technologies into an explicit statement.
I also think that note 4 can drop the word "some" (implied by "include")
and the second "may" (following the baseline is not meant to be optional).
So it would become:
<proposal>
Note 4: Examples of entities that may set baselines that an author has to
follow include the author, a company, a customer and government entities.
</proposal>
